The macroreticular Rohm & Haas resin A70 and the DuPont silica/nafion microcomposite SAC-13 undergo facile metalation with Ni-II, Pd-II, Pt-II, Cu-II cationic species to give materials that do react with both molecular hydrogen in the "dry" state and sodium borohydride in the aqueous phase. The distribution of the reduced species in the body of the support particles is sensitive to the reduction protocol. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
